Is Twitter banned at your workplace?

I should preface this post with this: Tweeting at work is basically part of my job, since I write about social media. I know this isn't the case for others.

On Twitter today, saw a few posts about a fun application called SpreadTweet, which is worth a look just for the clever name. Basically, it's a look-alike of an Excel spreadsheet to disguise your Twitter feed:

I think it's hilarious. I wonder how long this gem will last before Microsoft intervenes. But it also raises the question if there are companies that have actually banned people from using Twitter at work. I see so many lawyers, marketing professionals and other techie folks on there all day that I wonder who isn't on Twitter at work. Is Twitter banned at your job? Or do you feel guilty when the boss walks by and sees you twittering away?
